UPDATE 12-2017: Wow-not sure what to say. This place was so near and dear for so long, but I…read moredon't want to mislead you. You can't really get into that massive main building anymore, it is so packed with stuff. The outside area as well. You will have to find someone to let you into both now. Mary does though have another building down the block a bit, and this is worth checking out. My Original Review: Well, here we go-Yelp Resale Shopping: Extreme Edition!! I have a "unique" sense of decor and a refusal to cough up designer scratch for my quirky finds. This demands copious garage and estate sale-ing, flea-marketing, and thrifting, and I've gluttonously indulged these passions all across our great, junk-laden land. Seasoned as I am, one magical day some years ago I walked into a nondescript place on Schoenherr in Warren and just about passed clean out. I distinctly remember the breath being sucked out of my chest as my peepers struggled to take in the largest assemblage of objects I'd ever seen, let alone for sale. Standing there agape, my mind stuttered, its circuitry blown. Eventually the shock subsided and I was able to delve in and begin exploring. Imagine thousands of estate sales piled on top of each other as far as the eye can see. Upon entering, you'll see a ton o' things sitting outside, though the lion's share is in the building on the left. There's another one at the back right (through a fenced area) that some people don't know is part of this emporium. There are main aisles with offshoots, though many passageways that once were traversable are too clogged with stuff now to get through. Furniture, tools, art, household items, electronics, clothing, all manner of everything. As if all this is not enough, the fabulous Mary is the undisputed queen of her domain and she reigns as such. ALWAYS put things back where you got them from-she will KNOW and never forget! Nothing is priced-you either take the things to her to talk price or bring her to it if it's big. Don't haggle too much-remember who is the queen! I've seen slick dealer-types try to get over on her only to be sent packing with their tail between their legs amidst a torrent of verbal abuse! Though Mary is a quirky character of a certain age, she's smart as a whip and takes no crap. Tax is figured in her head after you agree on a price, and be ready with a figure from jump-she often starts by asking what you want to pay. She often is very fair though, and I've found some wonderful treasures here for a steal. I adore this woman. When I was younger, Mary would sometimes make me tell her why I needed a particular item and if my reason wasn't up to snuff she'd say "What do you need this for save your money!" and refuse the sale! Once I was browsing in the sun at her place when I suddenly began to faint for real, an unknown side effect of some meds I was on. This was before cell phones, so she had me stay there with her til I felt well enough to drive home. Spending several hours with Mary in her palace o' stuff is something I shan't soon forget, and I'll always be grateful for her kindness. After caring for me all day, she said "Don't tell anybody I was nice I'll get a bad reputation!" Normally I would not think twice about giving this junky wonderland five stars, as I'd easily road trip across many states to experience this gem and here it is in our backyard. The only drawback is the ever-growing olfactory assault. Along with some serious musty smells, she has taken to feeding area cats and the liquid emitted therefrom has permeated certain areas to the point that I'm worried some of the stuff is unsellable. For years I've kept this place a closely guarded secret-for a long time there was no signage out front at all. So there ya go-if you're up for adventure, here's a wild corner of the world.
